Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Sitcoms) for Tuesday, October 1, 2024 (Season 41, Game 17):

The first British sitcom to win a Best Comedy Golden Globe, it was remade in a U.S. version that had almost 15 times as many episodes

Today's Final Jeopardy - Tuesday, October 1, 2024 (3)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

In the search for our first 5-time champion of Season 41, there’s quite a strong chance that it will be Ryan Manton this week. He picked up a $26,800 Coryat Score in his debut performance yesterday, with his three incorrect responses all being on clues where a reply is “forced” (i.e. Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy). Continuing with 0 unforced errors and nearly 30 correct responses will make him incredibly difficult to beat. Today, he faces off against New Jersey’s Brooke Levine and Michigan’s Mike McComb.

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

In 2003, the original British version of The Office took home the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy. Remade into an American version that ran from 2005 to 2013, the American version was nominated for three Golden Globes in the same category but never won (losing to Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, and Glee, respectively.) However, the American version did win one Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series (in 2006) in six nominations.

Honestly, the only thing that makes this clue difficult (in my opinion) is the fact that there was no time period given to the contestants. (Though, honestly, I believe this is a necessary omission to avoid making the clue too easy for those both in studio and at home.)
